1 Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for Students The Board of Education recognizes that the Technology, Assessment and Accountability (TAA) Department's resources (computers, mobile devices, network access, computer and network applications) provide a wide variety of opportunities to achieve educational goals and objectives. Access to this vast range of resources should be used in a safe, responsible and proper manner in support of the instructional program and for the advancement of student learning. The District s Acceptable Use Policy ( AUP ) is to prevent unauthorized access and other unlawful activities by users online, prevent unauthorized disclosure of or access to sensitive information, and to comply with the Children s Internet Protection Act ( CIPA ). As used in this policy, user includes anyone using the computers, Internet, , chat rooms and other forms of direct electronic communications or equipment provided by the District (the network ). Only current students or employees are authorized to use the network. The District will use technology protection measures to block or filter, to the extent practicable, access of visual depictions that are obscene, pornographic, and harmful to minors over the network. The District reserves the right to monitor users' online activities and to access, review, copy, and store or delete any electronic communication or files and disclose them to others as it deems necessary. Users should have no expectation of privacy regarding their use of District property, network and/or Internet access or files, including . Acceptable Uses of the PUSD Computer Network or the Internet Schools must verify each year that students using the computer network and Internet access for that school year have a signed AUP on file. The Acceptable Use Policy and signature page is found in the Parent/Student Handbook and on-line on the District website. Students who are under 18 must have their parents or guardians sign this page and schools must keep it on file. Once signed that permission/acknowledgement page remains in effect until revoked by the parent, or the student loses the privilege of using the District s network due to violation of this policy or is no longer an PUSD student. Employees and other users are required to follow this policy. Even without signature, all users must follow this policy and report any misuse of the network or Internet to a teacher, supervisor or other appropriate District personnel. Students shall use the District's Network responsibly and primarily for educational purposes. If a user is uncertain about whether a particular use is acceptable or appropriate, he or she should consult a teacher, supervisor or other appropriate District personnel. Unacceptable Uses of the Computer Network or Internet These are examples of inappropriate activity on the District web site, but the District reserves the right to take immediate action regarding activities (1) that create security and/or safety issues for the District, students, employees, schools, network or computer resources, or (2) that expend District resources on content the District in its sole discretion determines lacks legitimate educational content/purpose, or (3) other activities as determined by the District as inappropriate.
